In the Kasuga mountain castle of Echigo Province, Uesugi Keikatsu is summoning Konishi Takuza, a wealthy merchant from Kai Town, and Ito Yoshisuke and his son, the fallen daimyo of Hinata.

"Hmm... The weapons you brought this time are of good quality, and I heard that you are willing to lend them to my family, right? Uesugi Keikatsu sat on the throne, flanked by retainers.

"Yes, yes, yes. The villain is willing to provide military funds to help the owner of the pavilion put down the rebellion. Ryoshi smiled flatteringly, revealing the face of a businessman.

"Well, aren't you afraid that your family will fail in the end and make you lose all your money?" Uesugi Keikatsu is in his early twenties this year, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is a standard beautiful man.

"How can it be, the owner of the hall is the orthodox head of the Uesugi family, and everyone expects it! No, it won't. Konishi Ryuzo hurriedly flattered, his performance made Ito Yubing breathtaking, is this still the dignified Kaimachi of the Hosokawa family? It's just a profiteer.

"Well, I'll take it." Uesugi Keikatsu unceremoniously accepted 50,000 yuan, which is a large amount of money, plus the standard equipment sent, it can be armed with a lot of ashigaru.

"Lord Ito has also come from afar, your mind is understood by the family, and after the family quells the civil strife, it will definitely stand up for you!" Uesugi Keikatsu looked at Yoshisuke Ito again, and his heart was extremely sympathetic, and at the same time, he secretly swore in his heart that he must not lose this battle for the throne, otherwise, the end would be worse than him.

"Thank you, Lord Steward!" Yoshisuke Ito called Jingsheng the leader of the Kanto region, which made Jingsheng very useful.

"Okay, you're tired all the way, let's stay here tonight, it's a long time coming." Uesugi Jingsheng meant something, and looked at Naoe Kaneji on the side with great meaning, this is his close confidant.

"The subordinates will arrange the food and living of Ito-sama, please rest assured." Naoe Kanesu understood what it meant, and immediately lowered the leader's order.

"Well, okay, okay." Uesugi Keikatsu couldn't help but say a few good things, and the other ministers saw that there was nothing wrong, so they retired one after another.

At night, the cold wind begins to bite, indicating that winter is coming, and the rain will not come again, only snow...

In a room inside the castle tower, Uesugi Keikatsu met with the people who visited during the day, but only Konishi Lonzo and Ito Yuhei, and Naoe Kanetsu also sat with him.

"Foreign ministers Konishi Ryuza and Ito Yubing, meet the Uesugi Palace! Please forgive me for the rudeness during the day. "Konishi Ryonzo and Ito Yubei performed samurai etiquette in a proper manner.

"Well, these are the little things. I just want to know, are the weapons and military funds you sent during the day really gratuitous? Uesugi Keikatsu looked at them suspiciously, he didn't believe that there was a gift in the world for no reason, and it was a big gift.

"Back to Uesugi Palace, my Hosokawa family wants to form an alliance with your family, it's that simple." Xiao Xi Longzo said neither humbly nor arrogantly, and there was no longer the flattery of the day.

"Really... In my opinion, your family has other plans, but I just want to use my Uesugi family as a shield to block the way for you to go west. Naoe Kanesui directly picked out the plans of the Hosokawa family, which made Konishi Ryozao's face look embarrassed.

"What Naoe-sama said is very true, my Hosokawa family and your family have formed an alliance to hinder the Tsugawa family's westward journey. But this is nothing bad for your family, the Tsugawa family has openly supported the rebellious Uesugi Keitora in order to win over the Takeda and Hojo families, indicating that they are ready to be enemies of your family. Ito deftly took over the topic and followed the other party's ideas to explain the necessity of the alliance.

"At that time... In addition to suffering from external enemies such as Tsugawa, Takeda, and Hojo, your family will also have to face Jinghu's internal troubles and rebellion, how should your family deal with it? It may be okay in the short term, but after a long time, I'm afraid that people's hearts will fluctuate..."Ito Yubing specially observed the Uesugi ministers during the day, and it was obvious that the new lord had ascended the throne, and they had not yet fully surrendered. Once there is a strong force that overwhelms Uesugi Keikatsu, he will definitely not hesitate to become a wall-to-wall grass.

"Hmm..." This sentence reached the hearts of the two ministers, who had been worrying about this matter recently.

Konishi Lonzo and Ito Yubing glanced at each other, there was a play.

"That's... If you and I are just a simple alliance, I don't think it's enough, after all, in the future, if my Uesugi family wants to block the Tsugawa family for your family, it will be a protracted war. And this bit of weapons and military resources that your family provides today, hehe... It's too stingy. Naoe Kaneji simply bit the card that he was a shield, wanting to make greater profits from it.

"That's... What are your good proposals? Ronzo Konishi asked tentatively.

"First, the two families have reached an offensive and defensive alliance treaty, if there is an invasion of the family, your family must send troops to help, and it will help for free." Naoe Kanesuke seems to have been in good tune with Uesugi Keikatsu for a long time, and even one, two, three, four, and five have been listed.

"Second, today's list of materials comes every year, after all, Echigo is at the forefront, and this daily cost is really not light."

"Third, I heard that Princess Sakura of your family is beautiful, virtuous and virtuous, and my lord is also a hero, handsome and elegant, if I can be lucky enough to welcome Princess Sakura in, then the alliance between the two families will be even more unbreakable." The more Naoe continued, the more it made it difficult for Ryuza and the others.

After a long time, Ryuza and the two glanced at each other, and it was still Ryuza Konishi who made it clear that "First of all, the foreign minister wants to state one thing, my Princess Sakura of the Hosokawa family has been married to the Yuki family. ”

"What! When did this happen? Uesugi Keikatsu couldn't help but ask, I didn't expect that the Hosokawa family had begun to win over the daimyo of the Kanto region.

"It was before the foreign minister came." There is no need to hide this kind of thing, it is best to say it in advance, otherwise, don't let the Uesugi family misunderstand that they are not sincere.

"That's right..."Uesugi Keikatsu glanced at Naoe Kasuke with some disappointment, and their wishful thinking failed.

"What about the other two? You can say yes, right? "Naoe continued to retreat and seek the second, although there are some regrets, but it is good to get some benefits.

"I'm afraid this doesn't make sense... Today's gift is the heart of my Hosokawa family, if it is like this every year... Isn't it a tribute? Then where is the majesty of my Hosokawa family? No way! This is a no-no! Little Nishironzo shook his head like a rattle and said nothing.

"Hmph, if your family insists on this, then there is nothing to talk about! Please! I don't send it! Naoe said stiffly, now it depends on who asks whom, and whoever takes the initiative.

"Humph! Don't forget, your family, now my Hosokawa family has an army of 100,000, and it is on display in Yuezhong! "Xiao Xi Longzo doesn't show weakness, and we will simply attack you if it's a big deal.

"What do you mean by that!" Uesugi Keikatsu's face suddenly became gloomy, and there was a strong killing intent in his eyes when he looked at Ryuza and the others.
